[正] He was born of Greek parents.
[析] 出身于样的家庭不要作from而要用of,例如:He was born of a poor family.
both
[误] They both are students.
[正] They are both students.
[误] They refuse both to answer this question.
[正] They both refuse to answer this question.
[析] both作同位语时,一般要用在be动词之后实意动词之前。
[误] I know his both parents.
[正] I know both his parents.
[误] The both brothers were students.
[正] Both the brothers were students.
[正] Both brothers were students.
[析] 当both与形容词性物主代词my, his, her等以及定冠词the连用时,都应将这些词置于both之后。另外,在与定冠词连用时the可以省略。
[误] Both of my parents are not at home.
[正] Neither of my parents are at home.
[误] Both of your answers are not right.
[正] Neither of your answers is right.
[正] Both your answers are wrong.
[析] both不能用于否定句中作主语。表示两者都不时要用neither;但作宾语时both与either则都对,但要注意句意有所不同。例如:I cannot give both of the books to you. (我不能将两本书全给你。)而I cannot give either of the books to you. (两本书中哪本书也不能给你。)
